14/17, or 0.823529412

Explanation:

First, you multiply both sides by 4, giving you #3x+2=(4(8x-1))/5#
Then, you multiply by 5, giving #5(3x+2)=4(8x-1)#
Next, you multiply it out with the Distributive Property, and then you get #15x+10=32x-4#
You add 4 to both sides and subtract #15x# to get #14=17x#
Then you divide by 17 to get your final answer, 0.823529412
